wonderful poem...And yet we can hear echoes From the time when things would grow Though he was just an old man From the time before the snow...wonderful music. I love this collab!

I'm already loving this intro with that music box sound, very Tim Burtonesque Danny Eflman intro!

These are some of my favorite tracks of yours! I love your narrations, excellent piece!

Such a natural fit you've all managed here and quite a lovely winter-scape story you've painted. Bravo! Durge

I LOVE YOUR VOCALS AND LYRICS...and I am a sucker for strings big bigggg timeee!!!! o my goodness!!!

Philleann https://soundcloud.com/philleann and Rosin Dust https://soundcloud.com/rosindust produced a beautiful track called Wintertide https://soundcloud.com/philleann/wintertide-with-rosin-dust . 
I asked them if I could tell a story over it, they agreed and this is it! Thanks Phil and Tatiana : )I recommend their pages for lots more lovely music!

Before The Snow 

He was just an old man
from the time before the snow
Before the katabatic winds
drove ice down from the poles

When people numbered billions
across the surface of the Earth
The world was blue and green with life
Around the planets girth

He said the beasts that burrow
The skittering scrabbling things
Had colour, grace and beauty
Elegance and wings

He told tales of beasts much larger
than the stature of a man
with scales and fur and teeth and claws
Before the cold began

He whispers there were things called trees
10 times higher than our huts
with fruit and leaves and monkeys
That men called carpenters would cut

He keeps our people happy
with his tales of long ago
If there is truth within his stories
we will surely never know

And yet we can hear echoes
From the time when things would grow
Though he was just an old man
From the time before the snow

Before The Snow (Music by Philleann and Rosin Dust, story and narration by Garddwr Porffor)

All music, songs and lyrics are original, unless noted.
Collaborations welcome, if you think you can add something to any of my songs, want to sing them, etc, please drop me a note
I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the good stuff going on in the lower frequencies. You don't want to only hear half of the music : )
